On July 6, 1912, King Gustaf V of Sweden inaugurated the Fifth
Olympiad at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. In the following
weeks, 2,380 competitors from 27 nations representing all five
continents participated in well-organized competitions in perfect
weather conditions. The largest Olympics to date, the Stockholm
Games have thus gone down in history as the Sunshine Olympics, or
""the Swedish Masterpiece."" Since that achievement, and despite
numerous attempts by other Swedish cities, Sweden has not yet
managed to host the Olympic Games again. This work examines the
1912 Stockholm Olympics from a variety of perspectives from
different academic disciplines, exploring the preparations,
organization, competitions, participants, and spectators, as well
as the continuing significance of the 1912 Games to sport Sweden,
the future of Olympic movement, and Swedish society.
